Teaching Your Staff the Art of Delegation to Volunteers
A presentation hosted by the Nonprofit Network Southwest Washington
Vancouver, Washington
11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Involving volunteers in a variety of tasks so that they work with a variety of staff members not only makes volunteers essential to an organization. It also:
- shows that organization welcomes the public to participate in its activities, to observe, to comment, even to criticize.
- creates financial donors; volunteers are much more likely to become financial contributors if they see the excellent work of an organization firsthand and feel a part of it.
Otherwise, volunteers are nice but not really necessary -- and the same will hold true for the volunteer resources manager!
This workshop will give you the tools to get staff members at your organization creating assignments for volunteers, supporting volunteers in those assignments, and acknowledging the impact of volunteers in their work. We will review both overt and stealth strategies to get staff to delegate tasks to volunteers, and to ways for the volunteer manager to track who is doing what!
Want me to speak at your organization? My schedule fills up quickly! Contact me and let's discuss dates and topics! (note that I'm booked through January 2011)
